Pizza Delivery Driver Shot On July 4 Has Died

ST. LOUIS, MO — Dave Matthews, 31, who was shot late on July 4 while delivering pizzas on Potomac Street in the Tower Grove South neighborhood of south St. Louis has died, according to an update from Matthews' friends on a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for his recovery. The page is now raising money to cover his funeral expenses.

So far, the fundraiser has raised more than $11,000, about half of its $25,000 goal.

According to the fundraising website, Matthews was shot twice in the neck and in critical condition when police found him. "He was rushed to the hospital where they performed surgery," friend Carrie McGuire wrote.

Fox 2 St. Louis reports that Imo's Pizza confirmed Matthews was a delivery driver for the Morganford and Humphrey location. The store's general manager told the television station he spent the night at the hospital with Matthews.
